My Dad likes to make people feel good about themselves.

When my Mum buys new clothes, Dad is always first to tell her how nice she looks.

It impresses me to see how happy he makes her when he notices what she's wearing.

When she got her brown fringe jacket, he said he really liked the Annie Oakley look. He also liked her deck chair striped shirt and her new boxing boots. Last week he commented on how amazing her inside-out coat was, and he said that her black trousers made her look like she was joining the police force.

I don't know why Mum doesn't wear her maternity dress or Father Christmas jumper anymore; judging by Dad's face, they were his favourites.

My Dad is always complimenting my Mum.
